(nee Regele) Marilyn began her journey to her Heavenly Home from a small farming community, Athens, WI, on July 24th, 1933. After 89 years, she reached her goal Friday, December 30th, 2022. Preceded in death by her dearest husband Carl. Marilyn sadly leaves behind two loving sons, Steven and Edward, Steven's thoughtful wife Marie, and Edward's significant other Ramona Ojeda, and four exceptional grandchildren - Kyle, Lauren, Nathan and Matthew (Cassidy Smith). They all continue to make her proud! Also preceded in death by her parents John and Eleanore Regele, her brother Donald Regele and 11 dear brother and sister-in-laws. Marilyn wishes a heartfelt "thank you" for your friendship and to many devoted cousins, nieces, nephews, friends from the Basilica of St. Josaphat, UW-Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools, as well as her faithful, long-time friends. Marilyn has truly been blessed.

Marilyn graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a teaching degree and taught for many years at MPS. Marilyn was a founding member of the Christian Women Guild of the Basilica of St. Josaphat.
